This is a fairly new casita but built by Andalusian traditions.
The house is small and compact but has everything needed for a good stay.
We now also built a practical outdoor kitchen on casitaens north side.
New washer is mounted!

The following is a place for nature lovers who enjoy walking in the mountains and being outside.
There are countless exciting places to go. Everything from high mountain peaks to beautiful rivers, which is into deep gorges. It has also been close to beautiful cities like Granada and Malaga
Are you there in November you may well be with the olive harvest. One must carry good hiking boots and clothing according to the season. The place is located at about 550 meters above sea level, so it can both count on, blow and be miserable winter. But it lasts seldom long before the warm sun shines again.

It is peaceful and scenic.

We spent a wonderful week in this incredibly well appointed and cosy space. Actually, the Cortijo is more beautiful than one could tell by the pictures. You can clearly see that Birgit paid attention to every detail while decorating the space. It is located in a magical landscape, where you can enjoy the sounds of nature as in no other place I have been before. The view is really breathtaking. To reach this piece of paradise you have to pass a small track of serpentine road, but it's definitely worth it. Besides, you're strategically placed between sand and snow, or the Costa Tropical beaches and Sierra Nevada. Birgit was an extremely friendly host before and during our stay and wanted always to be sure that we had everything we needed. We plan to come back soon!

A lovely casita middle in the nature with great view. Birgit as a host was great, gave us much support - giving hints about trips or helping with house questions.

Elzbieta2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

The site was spectacular peace and spectacular surroundings ... The cottage had everything we needed and cleanliness was good, very helpless to feel at home, and the washer and the kitchen was perfect, and many details very useful, parasol amacas, all perfect and close to everything, just say that the road to the cottage is for professional drivers .... Hehehe ...

Veredas2016-08-09T00:00:00Z

Our experiences in the Casita were entirely positive. We arrived late at night but communicated with Birgit and our arrival went smoothly, we even had a nice welcoming snack in the fridge. The Casita is the definition of coziness, with a nice and warm interior where every space is smartly used. The outside area is also very nice, partly in the shade. We took full advantage of the new outdoor kitchen (there is also an indoor one). With temperatures around 26 degrees celsius we didn't have to use the air-condition even once. Regarding the hosts, Birgit and Jan were just great, giving us tips for interesting places and food and we were lucky to have several nice conversations with them. We'll definitely be back for more.

Jan2016-05-30T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our holiday in the Casita. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything you need on holiday. We received a warm welcome. Birgit and Jan have offered an "emergency supply" of water and food for the first day, so we had to buy again immediately. The cabin was in the nature, we launched some walks directly from there - but we have also spent a "lazy" days at the lodge and just enjoyed the peace and the beautiful view. We have made many trips to the surrounding area, there are many beautiful national parks that are worth a visit. The sea is also within 20-30 minutes. The entrance to the casita is a little odd, but a normal car (we had a small car rented) to create good. The contact with Birgit and Jan who live in the neighborhood, was uncomplicated and very cordial.

Doris2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

I had a perfect stay in Andalusia thanks to Birgit and Jan and their cozy Casita. The location couldn’t be better: surrounded by olive trees and with beautiful views to the sea, the valley and the mountains. The house is very well designed and has everything one needs, it really feels like home. Jan and Birgit are so lovely and generous, and it was great to get to meet them. They know the region very well and recommended me several great places to see. By the end of my stay I really didn’t want to leave! I’ll definitely come back to the Casita to explore the area more :-)

Ida2015-03-29T00:00:00Z

The directions to the cabin is already an adventure. It goes steeply up the hill on a small portion of concrete, partly gravel narrow street. For a normal car but no problem at all and the reward waiting at the end: Birgit Casita is located at about 550m altitude and offers a great view of the opposite mountains and the sea. The cottage is tastefully decorated and offers enough space for 2-3 people. Everything you need is available and in the summer kitchen, it can be a good cook. The Casita offers a good starting point for all sorts of recreational activities in the area such as hiking, canyoning, beach outings or trips to Malaga or Granada. Hikes can be started directly from the hut - but we found that many trails in the area on OSM maps do not exist or can not be found in turn in reality were. Who needs help can but hesitate to contact Birgit and Jan. We enjoyed the time and the rest in the hut very and would be quartered at any time there again.

Tobias2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

Excellent apartment ... Nice view and well equipped. Perfect if you want to stay in a quiet environment, being about 20 minutes from almuñecar, salobreña and motril ... You can also make the gorge green river, walking distance from the hotel. For this you need to have vehicle. Puri has been very flexible at all times. I greatly appreciate habemos allowed to leave the next day, because our circumstances were complicated much due to a wrist fracture to me the same day of departure had occurred. Thanks Puri.

TOMAS2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

My / our first stay in the province of Granada has been fantastic. And part of fault, rather than the place, is the owner. A Puri have to thank to have collaborated in a small surprise we had prepared for the girls. The floor is fine. Clean, well furnished and accurate in the description. With some but, yes it is far from everything and yet close to everything. I mean, 15 minutes from the beach and village of Salobreña, 20 Motril and Almuñécar 25; 1 hour (more or less) the start of the visit to Las Alpujarras and as much of the beautiful city of Granada. 35 minutes from Nerja and Frigiliana (Málaga) ... and high, very high. The views showing the picture of the description, does not show the grandeur of the mountain where the quiet village of Ítrabo is Enramá. If you enjoy hiking, you can be a good starting point.

A wonderful place to stay in Itrabo with a modern flare. 25 minutes from the beach, with a gorgeous drive through the mountains each way. Underground parking, balcony and AC were great additions. We would recommend Puri's place to anyone.

Traditional house full of charm and character with modern and traditional interior, based on 4 floors with a plunge pool. Set within a typical sleepy 'blanco' hill village, with fabulous views of the village, the surrounding hills and the coast. We are 15 mins drive to the coast and 45 mins from the cities of Granada and Malaga.

The house is cool, light and spacious with several areas to dine and relax. Cool down in our plunge pool, sunbathe on one of four terraces or take shade under the canopy of the grape vine. Ward off the winter evening chill in front of the fire place after a days skiing or hike.

Itrabo is a typical unspoilt Andalusian village. Of medieval street structure, Itrabo has lots of little narrow streets to explore amongst its pretty white washed houses. Old ladies cleaning and chatting in the street, the clip clop of mules passing, singing farmers tending to their fruit trees, the chirping of birds and the brass band rehearsing for the next fiesta. In the evening the streets are engulfed with the sweet scent of Jasmine in between sudden puffs of delicious cooking, chatter and the shuffling of dinner.
A village just a few kilometres from the coast, Ítrabo has a population of around 1500 many of whom are employed in agriculture in the area, in particular the cultivation of Tomatoes, Avocados, Almonds, Grapes, Nisperos (Loquats) and Chiramoyas (custard apples). The village has as an unmistakably north-African feel with its flat roofed, white washed houses that huddle onto the hillside - the sleeping giant known locally as 'Picacho'.

It was really beautiful !!! Peter was in advance via e-mail at any time approachable and very friendly! He has also informed us about everything you can do within it. The house is really so, as in the pictures, with lots of attention to detail. We enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend it !!!! Even the people in Itrabo are very helpful and friendly, unfortunately, English is rarely spoken, but never had a real problem.

Simone2014-07-20T00:00:00Z

As a group of seven friends, we loved the beautiful village house in Itrabo. The bedrooms were all comfortable and there were plenty of cozy common spaces to lounge or to get away for some quiet time. Each terrace was comfortably furnished and had its own charm and personality. The small plunge pool was a nice feature and was very refreshing after a long day of sightseeing! Theresa, the house manager, was very helpful and was very prompt in responding when the toaster needed to be replaced. Thank you Theresa! The house itself is lovely and well appointed - furnished in good taste, well-maintained and clean. It was a pleasure to stay in Itrabo and we would not hesitate to recommend it! Thank you Peter for your prompt responses to all our questions during the booking process. Everything went very smoothly and the house exceeded our expectations! PS - One thing to note is that the house is located on a steep incline in the village and that it is divided between 4 levels with some steep stairs. This may present some problems to those with mobility issues. As a group, our average age was 60+ and we managed very well, however it is worth mentioning.

Helen2015-09-27T00:00:00Z

Our family stayed in Itrabo for ten days. The house was just wonderful, very beautiful and clean. It had everything and was well equipped. The kitchen and patio spaces were lovely. The location gave us a real sense of village life in Spain. It is very quiet and a little remote. We used the house for a jump off spot to explore the beaches and local area. Peter was very accessible and helpful if we needed anything as was the caretaker, Theresa, who lived just a few doors away. They were great! The house has many stairs and the streets of the village are very steep and narrow, so I would say not for those with mobility issues or who do not like to walk steep hills and climb stairs . The views and night sky awesome. Our family really enjoyed our stay. Thanks very much!

Beth2016-09-09T00:00:00Z

We spent a week in this beautiful house typical of Andalusia with our 2 children. We loved our stay there. The house is very well equipped, very clean. The different terraces possible to have different atmospheres but also vary depending on the temperatures of the day. He will live especially as the village is very quiet. The small pool is good for cooling and adapted to young children. However, its size does not allow swimming. The beaches are 20/25 minutes from the house as well as large supermarkets. The village is 10 minutes from the main roads allowing to visit Andalusia. We keep excellent memories of our stay. We actually regretted not having taken an extra week.

annabel2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

We had no problems communicating with Peter, adding and removing guests as our plans changed at short notice. Peter was flexible and responded to all messages quickly. Property is very clean, uncluttered and full of style. A great mix of the old and the new. Very comfortable and spacious. Itrabo is a beautiful village with a very authentic Andalucian feel. Many residents do not speak any English but the village is very welcoming. Parking is easy but a few hundred yards from house, up or downhill as you wish. Getting to local towns on the coast is easy if you have a car. Overall a great stay.

This is a beautiful and quiet place with a fantastisch view. The pool and jacuzi are great and the appartement is nice, spacious and clean. Our hosts Raphael and Carmen made us feel welcome right from the start; very nice, helpful and reliable people. The appartement is about 10 minutes into the mountains so a strong car is advisable.

Eric & Anne2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

The Casa Capilano been a complete fluke. We were looking for peace and found. The view is absolutely fantastic and it was really too good to go in the evening in a restaurant and not to eat at home. The different places to rest and take the dinner were wonderful. The private pool completes the whole perfectly. It is completely hidden from view and yet down to the sea a clear view. Nick, who has cared for us during the stay (he lives in the area), was very charming and was very quick to help when we had questions or needed help. The house is very well equipped and you can find everything that you need. The trips to Malaga, Seville, Nerja, Granada, etc. were simply superb. We can, Casa Capilano highly recommended and thank Beth Hird that they trust us left their home holiday guests.

Nadja2016-05-08T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed two very nice weeks in Beth's house. Casa Capilano is a perfect stay, with amazing views and a well equipped spacious and lovely furnished house. It`s wonderful located in a rural setting but not to far from towns and beaches. We had great fun an the pool! :)

I spend 10 days with my family at this very beautiful house in Spain. The location is breathtaking. You are surrounded by sea and mountains and from every place in the house you have a beautiful view. The house is on a hill at a quiet place at approx 20 min driving from the coast and 2 min driving from a small village where you can find everything you need (grocery store, bakery, ...). It is very comfortable with a lot of space and is fully equipped. The house offers several spots to eat (balcony in front, back of the house, inside), has a large living room with kitchen and 2 very comfortable rooms with clean and modern furniture. There is also a play/relax/tv-room offering a lot of movies (my son enjoyed it!) and you have 3 clean and comfortable bathrooms (1 with washing). The swimming pool is very very nice and because of the hot climate, we spent a lot of time in and around it! The house is really fantastic, it is much more than you need. We had a perfect holiday! Beth, the owner, has always responded immediately to our questions. She has prepared a file with a lot of information about the area, things to see, to eat, ... that is available in the house but she also sent a lot of information to us before our departure with a clear explanation on how to drive, find the house, contacts, etc. Beth, you organise this very well!

Greet2014-08-23T00:00:00Z

Wonderful stay! We were 5: 3 adults and 2 children. And we had a great time in the house of Beth. Upon our arrival, everything was done to make our lives easier. Nick, a very helpful neighbor introduced us quickly the house and its surroundings. He was very helpful throughout the stay. The house is really perfect but above all with 3 bathrooms (no less!). This is very handy when everyone out of the pool at the same time or so and when you have young children. The house really is like the pictures, very nice and welcoming. We felt at home very quickly. We did not hire additional studio and living room couch was perfectly fit for purpose (however, beyond 5, I recommend renting the studio). Very close to Itrabo, small rural village, you can lunch on the go and do some shopping there. Otherwise, a short jaunt in Almunecar in 25 minutes by car will do. Great place to visit Grenada by the RN through the mountains. Magic! In short, that happiness in the house of Beth. I invite you to come and discover.

Perfect for two families or groups but easy to make intimate. Large dining terrace and two private terraces.

Cortijo Las Golondrinas is an elegant 5 bedroom villa nestling in the coastal hills of the ‘Valle Tropical’ of Andalucia in Spain. 3 km from Jete and Otivar, 20 min to the buzzing beaches of Almunecar, Salobrena and La Herradura, one hour equidistant from Malaga and Granada this is the Spain of ‘chiringuitos’ serving heaped plates of sea food, whitewashed villages, thriving-all-year towns, old school customer service, stunning mountains, the Alhambra Palace and any excuse for a fiesta. Las Golondrinas location overlooking the tropical valley foothills of the Sierra Nevada and the coast 8 km away works brilliantly for large families, romantic breaks, special occasion gatherings, ‘boys’ activity weeks and 'girls' getaways. Near enough to do a weekend, Spanish enough to be different... go hiking, eat fresh local food, cycle, canyon, horse trek, ski in the morning, swim in the afternoon or... do absolutely nothing, chilling on the terrace by the pool- top Rioja in hand. Enjoy!
Golf: Motril 18 hole Golf Course is 25 min away although why anyone would want to spoil a good walk beats us! Golf is very popular all year in this part of Spain due to its warm climate.
Ski: Brilliant skiing/snowboarding in The Sierra Nevada in Winter only 90 min door to door. 103 runs, snow park, 27 lifts, 350 snow cannons and the most southerly skiing in Europe. Brilliant place to learn, better food and much cheaper than France. The Spanish would lynch anyone who served tinned ravioli for a tenner! The best skiing I ever had? Christmas Eve when all the Spanish visit relatives and we caned 100km of totally empty resort in glorious sunshine overlooking the Mediterranean - A hidden gem and perfect for 2/3 days ski break. If you would like to see a layout of the bedrooms of the three independent areas please let us know.

Great place, great views, plenty of space. Supermarket a bit far away, so bring some basics upon arrival.

Mike and Jennifer are extremely nice and understanding. When we arrived, we were lost in a small and narrow path in the mountain, and after calling Mike, he joined us to lead us to the villa. The villa is perfect for pictures. The pool is great and very deep! I recommend and will definitely visit again!

Visi met us on time and we were wonderfuly suprised by the beauty of the accomodation and its breathtaking location. A little bit of paradise with lush surroundings. The steep incline up to the property is not for the faint hearted, however, we did get used to and it was ok .

While driving from Malaga to Otivar, we met Visi in Almunecar near the exit of the highway where we agreed to meet. She showed us where to drive for the last 20min and happily answered all our questions while showing us around the house during the check-in. She made sure that the fridge was full of food for the first few days, so we didn't have to search for a supermarket on the public holiday. The location of the house is between Jete and Otivar, at around 2 km from the Otivar village, in the middle of a fruit farm with an amazing view! We really enjoyed our stay and could not have imagined a better stay! The house has everything you need for a quiet retreat in the mountains, including iron, toaster, hot water, kitchen equipment and extra blankets if needed. Will definately consider to stay here again when visiting next time! Muchas gracias Visi! May 2015
